The best thing about having multiple children is dressing them up in a theme. Well maybe that’s not the best, but it’s probably up there. So for the girls themed costume debut, they are Strawberry Shortcake and her kitty Custard! I got lucky finding Delilah’s costume. I was going to attempt to make it, but you know time/effort yada yada… But I found her costume online and on sale! And it’s pink! It was meant to be. Rory’s costume is an updated/throwback look to Strawberry. If that makes sense. Mostly it’s just things I already had that looked “Strawberry-ish”. I made the apron out of an old white oxford shirt. Then I stitched X’s on and hand sewed green felt diamonds.

They entered a costume contest at the University Truck or Treat event. They didn’t win. I think they could have won as a couple, but individually their costumes weren’t win-worthy. But they did get a lot of compliments and lots of “ohhhh they’re sooo cute!” There were a lot of sorority girls there, so you can imagine.

[On a side note] At the end of each day, as we are putting Rory to bed, I like to ask her what her favorite thing of the day was. On this day she said the best part of the day was when she got 2 cookies. At the event she scored an extra one, daddy ate it, but it still made her day. (You can see in the above picture her solo cookie feast.)
